Spectacular!
We saw the Saturday matinee show in Baltimore on February 11th and we thought it was fantastic. The production itself was well done with video, lighting and music. I hadn't known to expect a storyline, which was intriguing even if not totally understandable during the show, so afterward we researched a bit at home to understand it better. Even without knowing the story, the show was wonderful.
We were awestruck by the dexterity, strength, poise, and endurance of each of the dancers. And the lead male dancer in particular -- I think it was Michael Gardiner. (This is where an accurate playbill about out show would have come in handy since the lead was advertised as brother Matthew Gardiner, but we're pretty sure Michael, who is taller, was the lead at our show). We didn’t see a drop of sweat or heavy breathing from Mr. Gardiner the whole time! Amazing.
This was our first time ever seeing the show and we likely would have gone again if there had been more shows that fit our schedule.
